Kyle Meredith with... Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age)

[@KyleMeredith]

Thank you for watching! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting three new interviews every week!

new sub! Great interview!

Great interview, agreed! Also subbed.

“When life is good it’s funny . When it’s dark it’s REALLY funny” Great quote and philosophy

[@raymondproseus6923]

The thought of Josh rolling down the street in his 68 Camaro bumping Toxic is so Josh.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

He's a man after my own heart. '68 Camaro...one of my top 5 favourite cars for sure👌🏻

[@tracidouglas2529]

Fuck, I think I've fallen in love with Josh!

[@RichardFriendartist]

My band opened for Kyuss several times when they would play San Diego at a pretty big warehouse venue called Soma. Josh always looked so fresh and clean at sound check. It's a funny memory but here we are almost 30 years later and he still looks like he just got out of a shower and ran a comb through his hair! lol.

[@iamcasihart]

He really has fantastic style, and whomever is his barber does a fine job! Josh has great hair, nice skin, and features. Very fresh and clean, sharp and cool looking.

[@richardroutenote171]

"This is all we get" "Now is important" "You better get started" great stuff from Josh here... Incidentally, one of the things WE get, is to exist at the same time as this great artist, and benefit from his work. In a world of potential nothingness, this is something. Cheers Josh

[@fastsavannah7684]

Josh has always embodied his fully fleshed music. He’s the ju-jitsu equivalent of using all the crap that the world has to offer and emerge out of it with his songs. Thank you for that!

[@London666_UK]

He's whatever the opposite to bullshit is.

[@fastsavannah7684]

Josh Homme has elevated to the iconic status of Bowie, Lou Reed, and Tom Waits. We are lucky to have his creative voice in the world.

[@robpace881]

Amen

[@brintparks4895]

Absolutely! They are oddly unrecognized on their song writing skillz.

[@pattonPwr]

You must be kidding. Not even close to Bowie, Reed and Waits

[@shockcityrocker]

Not even in the same universe as Bowie.

[@regortex3364]

No disrespect to Homme, but that is a delusional statement.

[@slayerBO2EPC]

"why are we here? Because we are, so you better get started" And that's all you need to know

[@thrithree]

I love the new album. Josh and I are the same age and he is my absolute hero! He is the embodiment of all that is cool. Just a genius songwriter, singer and guitar player. I love the approach he takes to guitar, its so original. Dark, harsh, soft and beautiful. Queens has got me through some tough times and I'll always be a fan for life. Thanks Josh for all the great music.

[@christinaroberts711]

His attitude is a breathe of fresh air. He’s just living his life making the most out of every situation and then likely making a song about it

[@iamcasihart]

After about the 12 minute mark, Josh has me crying like a baby in the best way. The wisdom and sentiments he conveyed, so beautifully articulated, just touched me and I feel inspired. The “nowism.” I am so thankful Josh Homme is here with us, looking and sounding so well and content! Seriously, I could not be more thankful. Great interview. Just fantastic. 🤘♥️

[@eveh1458]

The philosophies and poetry that come from this man's mouth!! Absolutely inspiring

[@tracevicente]

Also, thrilled to see him come out of some serious challenges stronger and better. Thrilled you are still here to make amazing music, Josh!

[@jasonnewby]

I could listen to Josh all day. So many great quotes from just this little interview. He can be really deep but at the same time he doesn't try to talk over your head. I've been a fan since I heard the first album and I can't wait to hear the new one.

[@throwaway6405]

I think he has difficulty communicating effectively personally but I agree he has great wisdom about life love and loss and the chaotic nature of the universe

[@abbidolan2903]

'We're soundtracking our lives here'🖤

[@Inequities]

This may seem timely, or maybe even contrived given that the new album is about to come out…. But Josh Homme is my hero. I’m not saying that sarcastically or ironically; he’s literally and honestly my hero.

[@jorgecourela5722]

here's a man who puts his heart in every word

[@darrenmarkdouglas5073]

Josh Homme is an ABSOLUTE LEGEND! Great interview by the way, candid and insightful! He looks really well also, considering the shit he's recently been through. Keep on rocking man!

[@iamcasihart]

He really looks the best he has in years! And I always thought he looked great, but he really does look well and sharp, dapper as always.

[@gofoats]

I listen to Them Crooked Vultures when I'm in the kitchen playing with very sharp things and fire.

[@jtfrancis1745]

Josh is a deep dude. I respect the fact that he's clearly searching. Much respect

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

Josh homme is my favourite guitarist! He's influenced my playing more than anyone else . Original as f##k!

[@unodigerati]

Too funny Josh mentions loving Britanny Spears' Toxic as I too have that as a "guilty pleasure" song - the bass sub and guitar lines in that song are awesome!

[@slayerBO2EPC]

Absolute legend, this man has created music like no other has and developed a style that is his own, and amazing songwriting. Nowadays they're highly rated but IMO still underrated😂. Rock on legend

[@bitesizeeconomics-2024]

Such candor and brutal honesty is exactly what we need in this fkd up day and age. Thank you Josh. The soundtrack to your story resonates with so many of us.

[@funmachine694]

It feels like Josh is saying everything I’ve been thinking lately. It’s good to know that at least I’m not alone.

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

He's always been one of my favorite people, tossing off brilliant, original thoughts constantly, but GOD he's in such an amazing place right now... the way he has of talking about everything that's been going on in recent years without directly addressing it is so beautiful! 😁🥰😍🤩 I'm so happy he's made it to the other side of all this craziness, and cannot wait for the album release 🙌 Bless you, Josh, for creating a body of work that has helped me thru the worst (and the best) times of my life!

[@mateushenriquelima4695]

Every senctece of this man is live poetry. Holy shit

The record comes out on Friday when I’m at work. I told all my coworkers I’m bringing my best headphones and won’t be talking to anyone until I’ve listened to the album all the way through at least once. Luckily for me they’re supportive because they know QOTSA is in my dna

[@synthesis12]

Sweet! Like Troy said in an interview, it's best to pick up the vinyl, drop it on a decent turntable, turn out the lights and dive in! He also mentioned it's a driving record also, so I'm sure it'll be a good one. Love how the albums usually work together as a whole and aren't just a few gems with a bunch of filler.

It's awesome seeing his journey from when I first got into Queens in the Era of Vulgaris (intended) Then ... Like Clockwork was the first album I could see his tone shift into the man he is today. A balls to the wall character in the early days but actually is a sensitive guy. Good interviw Kyle and keep em coming.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone else getting into QOTSA through that album! Awesome album though.

[@semantics.]

@@end2endburners635 It's deffo the most autistic album. I mean I started listening to them in 2008 after that album was released in 2007, so naturally I gravitated to what was advertised. Though I thought No One Knows was from The White Stripes and only knew Queen's very first first from Go With The Flow. Repeat them 4 bars baby!

[@ominousdarkrealms3303]

I love Josh no matter what his sense of humor is. He's raising kids, he's dealing with a very bad break up in my opinion. If Brodey Dolley can get it together and forgive him for being a man in the greatest band on earth, I could possibly listen to her band the distillers again. Any ways , for sure , this album is going to be legendary. I've followed Queens since thier first album. Any genius is gonna be on a different frequency than most. Thier going to say highly intelligent things that make you really think and some times thier going to hit you with a curve ball. He's dealing with tons as most men are right now with relationships and divorces. Its hard to be a man these days in America. It's hard to be a dad. But love must always prevail. And that is what Queens has always taught me. This is band is for passionate people who love hard and bang thier heads hard. Queens to me is about desert punks that showed up to the hippi party to help turn it up. There's going to be weed and mushrooms there. There's going to be beautiful ladies there dancing. There's going to be wierd tweekers there too when they take a break from ruining them selves on the streets to join a healthier more sexy circus.When I listen to this band , in my head im always killing the Nazi's. That is the American spirit I guess. This is Mooon Doggie over and out.
